[font=trebuchet ms]Hmm... how much is "just a little relief"? I usually set it so that there's a space roughly equal to the diameter of the low E string at the 7th fret when I fret the low E at the first and 14th. I think the neck would have to curve like a banana to keep the strings from buzzing on this sukka.[/font]
